Decades Gone By Series: Insanity Takes All - Book 1 (Fairy Tail)

Chapter 6 - The Return of the Fairies

      Lucy threw the suitcase on the bed, so hard that it missed the sheets and slammed against the wall. Her heart was beating like a river as she walked over to the balcony and threw the doors open. Stepping into the night air made her calm down, but the faces of those two were still fresh in her mind. 

     The look of surprise on their faces when she had opened the door, but she had been even more surprised. One thought kept running through the blonde's mind and that was why they were here. Lucy's head fell into her hands as she tapped her finger on her forehead. It was possible the two had joined another guild over the year, but something told her that wasn't it. 

     Repeatedly tapping her heel against the floor, Lucy moved her hands away from her face so they hung over the ledge. When she had exited the boys' room, the two of them hadn't been in the hallway which probably meant they went to their room or back in the lobby. She slowly retreated back into the room, shutting the glass doors behind her and leaned against them. 

     Lissa was downstairs, so she had an excuse to go. Of course she was a little thirsty anyways, so without a second thought Lucy made her way across the room and left the door wide open in her wake.

       As soon as the door closed behind Lucy, Wendy sprinted down the stairs. Juvia glanced behind her, watching the young girl skip down the stairs carelessly, in a hurry to tell the others. She blinked, the surprise still showing on her face as she followed after Wendy, banging down the stairs as her voice came into ear shot.

     "We saw Lucy and she looked as surprised as we felt!" She was saying when Juvia appeared, her hands sliding against the walls of the stairway as she came to the last step. "She also seemed pretty angry, as well," she said as the bluenette came up beside her, placing her suitcase beside Wendy's. When she straightened up she caught Gray's eyes, who were looking at her carefully. She didn't question it though, thinking it was because she had seen Lucy. 

     "She had on a nice dress," she said, giving a small shrug to the large group. "If she comes down here, what are we going to tell her? From the look on her face when she saw us, she doesn't know Fairy Tail is revvied." Erza stood in front of her and she watched as the redhead's face contorted in thought, her metal covered finger tapping against her chin. 

      Out of the corner of her eye, Juvia noticed a little girl with black hair watching them from the bar. She glanced over, meeting the girl's eyes and noticing they were two different colors. One was blood red and the other baby blue. She wore a red and black dress, making her look like a ladybug. She had no shoes on, which the bluenette frowned at. 

     Gray seemed to follow her gaze as Juvia made her way over to the girl. "Do you know who we're talking about?" She asked, her voice calm as the girl looked up at her. Her only answer was a small nod and she turned around, grabbing her drink of orange juice. That's when Juvia's eyes fell upon her back, the dress having a low back which revealed a purple guild mark. Some of it was covered but the Z was loud and bold in front of her eyes.

     "You're from Premonition," she whispered, making the girl turn her focus back to her, slowly taking a sip from the glass. Gray came up beside her, his eyes boreing into the little girls multicolored ones. "What's your name?"

     The girl took the glass away from her lips, her eyes not even glancing away from Gray to Juvia as she answered. "Lissa," she said, her voice high and soft. She slid off the stool, making the two mages step back a couple paces as she took a hold of her dress and curtzied, surprising them. "Lissa Alexander." 

       As she returned to standing, a creak of the stairs made everyone's heads turn to find Lucy standing on the second last step. Her brown eyes were wide as they scanned the entire lobby, her eyes soon falling upon Natsu but retreating as quickly. Her hands were pressed against the walls, the burn mark seemingly shining in the light that hung over her. It was pink, making Juvia shiver as her eyes traveled up to her bare shoulder, revealing the Premonition guild mark.
